Also, don't forget that if you have a kitschy, kooky, and ooky event here (or near) the Pittsburgh area and want us to get the word out with ALL the details (a few weeks in advance please) and we'll do our best to spread the word. Until then...

Piskor, a native of Pittsburgh, is perhaps best known for Wizzywig, his meticulously researched history of phone phreaking and computer hacking. Lauded by a very diverse set of critics, from The Comics Journal to Wired, Wizzywig demonstrated Piskor's talent for distilling often obtuse facts into a compulsively readable (and relatable) narrative.

On October 10, Piskor will discuss the experience of bringing Hip-Hop Family Tree to fruition. He will also discuss and screen Wild Style, the 1983 film that played a major role in bringing Hip-Hop culture to the mainstream.

As a special bonus for attendees, Piskor has created a print inspired by Hip-Hop Family Tree. This signed and numbered print are available for sale here. Purchase of the print, pictured here, also entitles the buyer to a discounted admission to the event. Piskor will also have advance copies of his book for sale and signing.

Regular admission to the October 10 screening is just $10/person. Doors will open at 7PM and the event will begin at 8PM.

The gang from Pittsburgh Underground are big fans of Ed (who's also a hell of a nice guy!) So get your ass to the Hollywood Theater this Thursday night to support local comics at it's very best!
